Ingredients
- 200 grams Dried apricots
- 240 milliliters Water
- 150 grams Unsweetened applesauce
- 3 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 200 grams Almond flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and line an 8-inch (20 cm) round cake pan with parchment paper.
Step 2
Chop the dried apricots into small pieces. In a small saucepan, combine the apricots with water and bring to a boil over medium heat.
Step 3
Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, until the apricots are soft and most of the liquid is absorbed.
Step 4
Remove from heat and transfer the apricots to a food processor or blender. Add the unsweetened applesauce and blend until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
Step 5
In a large bowl, beat the eggs until frothy. Add the vanilla extract and apricot puree, stirring until well combined.
Step 6
In another bowl, mix the almond flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Step 7
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
Step 8
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 10
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 11
Once cooled, slice and serve. Enjoy your sugar-free apricot cake with a cup of tea or coffee.
